A plane EM wave is propagating along xx direction. It has a wavelength of 4 mm4 \mathrm{~mm}. If electric field is in yy direction with the maximum magnitude of 60 Vm−160 \mathrm{~Vm}^{-1}, the equation for magnetic field is:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
BZ=2×10−7sin⁡[π2×103(x−3×108t)]k^ T{B}_Z=2 \times 10^{-7} \sin \left[\frac{\pi}{2} \times 10^3\left(x-3 \times 10^8 t\right)\right] \hat{k} \mathrm{~T}
Option B (BZ=2×10−7sin⁡[π2×103(x−3×108t)]k^ T{B}_Z=2 \times 10^{-7} \sin \left[\frac{\pi}{2} \times 10^3\left(x-3 \times 10^8 t\right)\right] \hat{k} \mathrm{~T}) is correct because it represents the magnetic field component of the EM wave, calculated using the relationship between electric and magnetic field amplitudes and the wave's propagation characteristics.
